I ended in a semi-brick problem :crying:, starting my n7100 Note 2 after flashing the ALJ1 stock Firmware with Odin.
A. How did I configured Odin before starting:
- PDA with N7100XXALJ1_N7100PHNALJ1_N7100XXALIH_HOME.tar,
- checked Auto reboot en rest time but ....
- I fear the Nand erase also was checked
B. What was the result ???? Note 2 Starts up but doesn't pass the SAMSUNG logo (hangs).
C. Whats still possible and did I tried already?
1. I do have a CWM backup on the externa SD
2. I still can open in the download mode and use Odin
3. I still can open up in CWM recovery mode 6.0.5 and manage it
D. What did I Try already?
a. I tried restoring from the external SD but cannot pass the mounting of the internat SD (have to wait 20 sec for SDcard to mount but without succes witch results i also can't store rhe data
b.I tried repartioning with the "pit 7100", witch also fails
c. I searched for more than 6 hours for a solution, specified for the note 2, but don't find a shure solution; f.e. [HOW-TO] Unbrick your soft bricked Galaxy S III - xda-developers_php;
articles about mount SD using Heidmat, All in one]Stock ROM N7100 +How to Root N7100 & Reset counter , CWM Recovery 6.0.1.5 for N7100, and so on, and so on ...
d. Finally bag for help and most and of all
specially call for a solution on the xda-expert-developers, Cardiologists for Android patients :angel:
Thanks in advance,

Did already mention under A,first item . That's the stock rom.
Hello there,
I have a problem with my samsung gio device. I decided to update the unofficial cyanogenmod, but the install interrupts and aborted.
Now I can boot until the Samsung logo came. An other Forum gave me the hint, that the devica has a softbrick.
They gave me also the hint to the following manual.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1573628
I tried to do this manual, but I dont undersstand what to do in Point 3.
Could anyone help me and try out a step by step manual for me, that I can unbrick my Samsung mobile?
Thanks a lot! :fingers-crossed:
just flash a cwm 5.0.2.8 or a newer one because you use cyanomod rom use ext4 only
download one,put your phone in download mode power menu and volume down togetter.
connect phone with computer
start odin see that phone is recognised
insert the cwm clicking one package and put the package in odin(see odin how to)
flash...

Hello,
I got the error, you could see on the attached picture.
Do you know why?
EDIT:
I tried rhe following instruction and it works until the reboot. The gio interrupt the rebbot. There is only the samsung logo shown.
see this link,you should insert the cwm as one package
also dont forget to insert the gio_v1.0. ops file(not cooper ofcourse )see example this file is in the odin 4. version if not in odin3
http://androidworld.nl/forum/samsun...to-one-package-firmware-flashen-via-odin.html

if cy7.x flash this cwm: px-cwm
if cy9.x flash this cwm: cwm6 itisichan
if cy10.x flash this cwm: ma6kernel cm10.1
and if not unbreak wipe data + format system + format dalvik
and flash another rom...
My wife's SG3 SGH-I747 will show the white "Samsung" logo, then the white Samsung Galaxy S3 logo, then it goes black. Pulled the battery several times, no luck. I'm assuming this was caused by a failed update.
I can get it into download mode, I have cleared the Cache and rebooted with no luck.
I'm not a complete rookie at this, but I haven't done it for years and I'm afraid of losing the data on the phone.
How would you suggest I proceed to save the data? (Pictures and movies)
install a previous stock rom via the download mode? Or odin? I don't have a custom recovery installed.
Will the unbrick method work in my situation? If so will it wipe the phone?
I've searched the forum and can't find anyone saying if the data is salvageable.
I know it's my fault for not backing up her data, but she's in tears over losing pictures of the kids. Please help if you can.
Thanks,
Installing a ROM via Odin may require you to do a factory reset before it boots.
Boot into download mode and look at the screen. Do you see anything about a warranty bit?
I just get the download screen. (See attached picture) Nothing about a warranty
Options are:
Reboot system now
apply update from external storage
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
apply update from cache
Then it shows:
#MANUAL MODE#
--APPLLYING MULTI-CSC...
APPLIED THE CSC-CODE : ATT
SUCCESSFULLY APPLIED MULTI-csc.
.
That is the recovery mode, not download mode. To get into download, press the home button, volume down, and power button. Once the phone starts to boot, release the power button and hold the other two until you see the download message and press volume up to continue.
You were right. In download mode it says:
ODIN MODE
product name: sgh-i747
CURRENT BINARY: CUSTOM
SYSTEM STATUS: CUSTOM
QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE
WARRANTY BIT: 1
BOOTLOADER AP SWREV: 3
DOWNLOADING....
DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!!
Since the warranty bit is 1, this tells me you have at least a 4.3 bootloader on your phone.
The only thing I can think of to get the files would be to flash twrp onto your phone in download mode. Then mount the drive, connect the phone to your computer, and use Windows Explorer (assuming you're on a Win machine) to copy the files off the phone.

Flashing a new rom would wipe the phone?
The last full firmware AT&T released was 4.1.1. The AT&T 4.3 and 4.4.2 ROMs were only released as OTA updates for an existing stock ROM and stock recovery on a phone.
If you want to flash a 4.3 or 4.4.2 ROM, you need to use a version found on XDA to to this. Trying to flash a 4.3 ROM onto a 4.4.2 bootloader and modem could brick your phone. In fact, any flashing procedure can result in a brick or a loss of user data.
Even if you successfully flash a ROM, the ROM may not boot without wiping the cache and all user data first.
Good to know, Thanks a BUNCH for the help.
You are awesome!
Now...let's pray this works!
If you install a custom recovery, you can create a backup of the existing ROM even if the ROM doesn't boot.
Cool,
Odin 3.07 sees the phone, i downloaded openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-d2att.tar. Is it is loaded through the pda option?
Thanks again for your help.
Yes, flash it via the PDA section. Do not check anything except F.Reset time.
Flash TWRP, when you see the word Reset in the status windows, remove the USB cable, remove the battery, replace the battery, boot into recovery, create a backup of the rom, preferably to an external SD card. When the backup is complete, attach phone to computer, mount the partitions, locate files on the phone you want to save.
Done with install, backing up to SD now.
Ok, TWRP worked, I was able to safe the files (THANK YOU!!!). I used the file manager to find and copy the files to the sd card, then did a full backup. It never did mount to the computer, even after the drivers were installed.
It saved the backup with the file name: 1970-01-01--00-18-57 KOT49H.I747UCUFNJ1 so I'm guessing that is the build number it was trying to update to (KOT49H.I747UCUFNJ1). I can get to recovery mode and download mode, how should I go about making this phone work again?
I'm not sure how to check what version of bootloader I have. You scared me about the "bricking it" warning about flashing the wrong rom with the wrong bootloader.
If your are sure you saved the necessary files in two different places, boot into recovery and wipe cache , dalvik, and reboot. If it still won't boot, wipe cache, dalvik, and data in recovery, reboot.
Another option may be to use adb to pull files from the phone, you can even pull entire directories. I will work from recovery mode. There are tutorials on installing the toolkit for adb w/o installing all of the platform development tools. I use Linux so I can not verify how to do this on Windows, but it looks as simple as it was for me. Once adb is present on the PC, boot the phone into recovery, and in a command prompt window enter the command
Code:
adb shell pull /path/to/picture/directory C:\path\to where\you\want\it
and example may be
Code:
adb shell pull /sdcard/DCIM/camera C:\recoveredphotos
Check that I did my Windows path correctly
I Am trying to flash the android 4.4.2 ROM for samsung galaxy note 3 neo.
I made a backup using twrp 2.7.0.0.
then I tried to wipe data and cache and delvik cache
but the recovery hanged up and I had to remove the battery to reboot the phone again
then I tried to flash the stock ROM using Odin 3.09 and when I click "Start" it freezes at "Initialization" and doesn't flash the Rom
I tried to open the phone but it's stuk at samsung logo
I tried to format system through twrp but it froze again
then when I tried to reboot the phone it was stuck on the main screen that says "samsung galaxy note 3 neo" which means that formatting system was successful .
I opened the recovery again and went to "mount" And I found that it can't mount anything
I tried to resrtore the backup but I had an error
now I don't know what to do
I can't flash the ROM
I cant reboot into system (formatted)
My PC keeps telling me that the USB not recognized when I try to connect the phone in download mode
Any ideas ??

Whicch Stock ROM did you flash? It has to have a bootloader above or equal to what you currently have.
I tried to open the phone but it's stuk at samsung logo
This is hope. Others can't switch on at all :crying:

Have you tried flashing TWRP or another recovery anew? Via ODIN perhaps?
I tried to resrtore the backup but I had an error
What error does it give?
I can't flash the ROM
Have you tried flashing a custom ROM via TWRP and see if it sticks?
My PC keeps telling me that the USB not recognized when I try to connect the phone in download mode
Have you checked that your Samsung drivers are installed correctly?
Have you booted into Download mode correctly?
ive had help in rom section but unable to get the rom installed trying to install the ultimate note 5 rom ok i follow op instructions tried muti twrp and the lastest philz ever time i flash the rom i get a error 7 code tried muti formatted sd cards tried putting on phone storage then flashing still same error.. ive read on the error 7 a little bit about it look in the updater script dont see the line it says to erase,ive flash other rom no problem but this 1 keeps failing with that error the picture says twrp 2.8.6 did it just to try out but im on twrp 3.0 now when i got the phone it was already on 5.1.1 ok1
I will be as specific and give as much detail as i can here...
You need to start over with a clean slate. Use standard class 10 micro-sd card and don't mess with multi format whatever. Use TWRP 2.8.7 or 3.0.0. Start by rebooting into recovery and wiping everything clean several times. backup any files that you need to keep. But you must wipe internal sd, system, cache, data and dalvic-cache. wipe thenm in advanced wipe options of twrp. Next reboot to download mode. Launch odin 3.10.6 or newer on your pc. connect your phone to your pc via the usb cable. In the options tab of odin make sure auto-reboot and reset time is CHECKED!!! Open the official stock OK1 rom tar using the AP button in odin. Once the md5 check completes just press start to flash the stock rom. when it finishe LET THE PHONE REBOOT!!! Once the phone boots, setup as usual then go into Settings and open "Activate this device". Let it do it's thing and it will automatically reboot. Once the phone reboots, go to settings/System update and do the prl AND profile updates. Reboot your phone again. Then make sure your data and calls work as they should.
Once you are on stock and have done all of these steps above you are ready to odin TWRP. Download the tar version of TWRP to use in odin. It is the best way to flash recoveries. Launch odin on your pc and use the AP button to add the TWRP tar. In the options tab you can uncheck auto reboot if you want. (I've never had to do that but you can). Once it flashes you can let the phone reboot or you can just pull the battery then force reboot into recovery by holding the volume-up, home and power buttons until you feel the phone vibrate. Release all buttons and wait for TWRP to boot. Once in TWRP, do all of the wipes same as before multiple times. Then for good measure go to TWRP homescreen and press "Reboot" then "Recovery" and this will reboot recovery and ensure that the rom zip will flash with no trouble. Reboot recovery then flash the UN5 rom and remember to wait for data to conect before proceeding with setup wizard. Success. If this doesn't work then give up and leave your phone stock until you figure out what's causing your problems. Good luck.
